Sura - 37 The Arrangers.
 
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
  1   [ 37: 1 ] The arrangers in columns.
  2   [ 37: 2 ] The blamers of those to be blamed.
  3   [ 37: 3 ] The reciters of the messages.
  4   [ 37: 4 ] Your god is only one.
  5   [ 37: 5 ] The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them, and Lord of the easts.
  6   [ 37: 6 ] We have adorned the lowest heaven with adorning planets.
  7   [ 37: 7 ] We guarded it from every evil devil.
  8   [ 37: 8 ] They cannot spy on the High Society; they get bombarded from every side.
  9   [ 37: 9 ] They have been condemned; they have incurred an eternal retribution.
  10   [ 37: 10 ] If any of them ventures to charge the outer limits, he gets struck with a fierce projectile.
  11   [ 37: 11 ] Ask them, " Are they more difficult to create, or the other creations? " We created them from wet mud.
  12   [ 37: 12 ] While you are awed, they mock.
  13   [ 37: 13 ] When reminded, they take no heed.
  14   [ 37: 14 ] When they see proof, they ridicule it.
  15   [ 37: 15 ] They say, " This is obviously magic!
  16   [ 37: 16 ] " After we die and become dust and bones, do we get resurrected?
  17   [ 37: 17 ] " Even our ancient ancestors? "
  18   [ 37: 18 ] Say, " Yes, you will be forcibly summoned. "
  19   [ 37: 19 ] All it takes is one nudge, whereupon they ( stand up ) looking.
  20   [ 37: 20 ] They will say, " Woe to us; this is the Day of Judgment. "
  21   [ 37: 21 ] This is the day of decision that you used to disbelieve in.
  22   [ 37: 22 ] Summon the transgressors, and their spouses, and the idols they worshipped
  23   [ 37: 23 ] beside GOD, and guide them to the path of Hell.
  24   [ 37: 24 ] Stop them, and ask them:
  25   [ 37: 25 ] " Why do you not help one another? "
  26   [ 37: 26 ] They will be, on that day, totally submitting.
  27   [ 37: 27 ] They will come to each other, questioning and blaming one another.
  28   [ 37: 28 ] They will say ( to their leaders ), " You used to come to us from the right side. "
  29   [ 37: 29 ] They will respond, " It is you who were not believers.
  30   [ 37: 30 ] " We never had any power over you; it is you who were wicked.
  31   [ 37: 31 ] " We justly incurred our Lord's judgment; now we have to suffer.
  32   [ 37: 32 ] " We misled you, only because we were astray. "
  33   [ 37: 33 ] Thus, together they will all partake of the retribution on that day.
  34   [ 37: 34 ] This is how we requite the guilty.
  35   [ 37: 35 ] When they were told, " Laa Elaaha Ella Allah [ There is no other god beside GOD ], " they turned arrogant.
  36   [ 37: 36 ] They said, " Shall we leave our gods for the sake of a crazy poet? "
  37   [ 37: 37 ] In fact, he has brought the truth, and has confirmed the messengers.
  38   [ 37: 38 ] Most assuredly, you will taste the most painful retribution.
  39   [ 37: 39 ] You are requited only for what you have done.
  40   [ 37: 40 ] Only GOD's servants who are absolutely devoted to Him alone ( will be saved ).
  41   [ 37: 41 ] They have deserved provisions that are reserved specifically for them.
  42   [ 37: 42 ] All kinds of fruits. They will be honored.
  43   [ 37: 43 ] In the gardens of bliss.
  44   [ 37: 44 ] On furnishings close to one another.
  45   [ 37: 45 ] Cups of pure drinks will be offered to them.
  46   [ 37: 46 ] Clear and delicious for the drinkers.
  47   [ 37: 47 ] Never polluted, and never exhausted.
  48   [ 37: 48 ] With them will be wonderful companions.
  49   [ 37: 49 ] Protected like fragile eggs.
  50   [ 37: 50 ] They will come to each other, and confer with one another.
  51   [ 37: 51 ] One of them will say, " I used to have a friend.
  52   [ 37: 52 ] " He used to mock: `Do you believe all this?
  53   [ 37: 53 ] " `After we die and turn into dust and bones, do we get called to account?' "
  54   [ 37: 54 ] He will say, " Just take a look! "
  55   [ 37: 55 ] When he looks, he will see his friend in the heart of Hell.
  56   [ 37: 56 ] He ( will go to him and ) say, " By GOD, you almost ruined me.
  57   [ 37: 57 ] " If it were not for my Lord's blessing, I would have been with you now.
  58   [ 37: 58 ] " ( Do you still believe ) that we die,
  59   [ 37: 59 ] " only the first death, and we never receive any requital? "
  60   [ 37: 60 ] Such is the greatest triumph.
  61   [ 37: 61 ] This is what every worker should work for.
  62   [ 37: 62 ] Is this a better destiny, or the tree of bitterness?
  63   [ 37: 63 ] We have rendered it a punishment for the transgressors.
  64   [ 37: 64 ] It is a tree that grows in the heart of Hell.
  65   [ 37: 65 ] Its flowers look like the devils' heads.
  66   [ 37: 66 ] They will eat from it until their bellies are filled up.
  67   [ 37: 67 ] Then they will top it with a hellish drink.
  68   [ 37: 68 ] Then they will return to Hell.
  69   [ 37: 69 ] They found their parents astray.
  70   [ 37: 70 ] And they blindly followed in their footsteps.
  71   [ 37: 71 ] Most of the previous generations have strayed in the same manner.
  72   [ 37: 72 ] We have sent to them warners.
  73   [ 37: 73 ] Note the consequences for those who have been warned.
  74   [ 37: 74 ] Only GOD's servants who are absolutely devoted to Him alone ( are saved ).
  75   [ 37: 75 ] Thus, Noah called upon us, and we were the best responders.
  76   [ 37: 76 ] We saved him and his family from the great disaster.
  77   [ 37: 77 ] We made his companions the survivors.
  78   [ 37: 78 ] And we preserved his history for subsequent generations.
  79   [ 37: 79 ] Peace be upon Noah among the peoples.
  80   [ 37: 80 ] We thus reward the righteous.
  81   [ 37: 81 ] He is one of our believing servants.
  82   [ 37: 82 ] We drowned all the others.
  83   [ 37: 83 ] Among his followers was Abraham.
  84   [ 37: 84 ] He came to his Lord wholeheartedly.
  85   [ 37: 85 ] He said to his father and his people, " What are you worshipping?
  86   [ 37: 86 ] " Is it these fabricated gods, instead of GOD, that you want?
  87   [ 37: 87 ] " What do you think of the Lord of the universe? "
  88   [ 37: 88 ] He looked carefully at the stars.
  89   [ 37: 89 ] Then he gave up and said, " I am tired of this! "
  90   [ 37: 90 ] They turned away from him.
  91   [ 37: 91 ] He then turned on their idols, saying, " Would you like to eat?
  92   [ 37: 92 ] " Why do you not speak? "
  93   [ 37: 93 ] He then destroyed them.
  94   [ 37: 94 ] They went to him in a great rage.
  95   [ 37: 95 ] He said, " How can you worship what you carve?
  96   [ 37: 96 ] " When GOD has created you, and everything you make! "
  97   [ 37: 97 ] They said, " Let us build a great fire, and throw him into it. "
  98   [ 37: 98 ] They schemed against him, but we made them the losers.
  99   [ 37: 99 ] He said, " I am going to my Lord; He will guide me. "
  100   [ 37: 100 ] " My Lord, grant me righteous children. "
  101   [ 37: 101 ] We gave him good news of a good child.
  102   [ 37: 102 ] When he grew enough to work with him, he said, " My son, I see in a dream that I am sacrificing you. What do you think? " He said, " O my father, do what you are commanded to do. You will find me, GOD willing, patient. "
  103   [ 37: 103 ] They both submitted, and he put his forehead down ( to sacrifice him ).
  104   [ 37: 104 ] We called him: " O Abraham.
  105   [ 37: 105 ] " You have believed the dream. " We thus reward the righteous.
  106   [ 37: 106 ] That was an exacting test indeed.
  107   [ 37: 107 ] We ransomed ( Ismail ) by substituting an animal sacrifice.
  108   [ 37: 108 ] And we preserved his history for subsequent generations.
  109   [ 37: 109 ] Peace be upon Abraham.
  110   [ 37: 110 ] We thus reward the righteous.
  111   [ 37: 111 ] He is one of our believing servants.
  112   [ 37: 112 ] Then we gave him the good news about the birth of Isaac, to be one of the righteous prophets.
  113   [ 37: 113 ] We blessed him and Isaac. Among their descendants, some are righteous, and some are wicked transgressors.
  114   [ 37: 114 ] We also blessed Moses and Aaron.
  115   [ 37: 115 ] We delivered them and their people from the great disaster.
  116   [ 37: 116 ] We supported them, until they became the winners.
  117   [ 37: 117 ] We gave both of them the profound scripture.
  118   [ 37: 118 ] We guided them in the right path.
  119   [ 37: 119 ] We preserved their history for subsequent generations.
  120   [ 37: 120 ] Peace be upon Moses and Aaron.
  121   [ 37: 121 ] We thus reward the righteous.
  122   [ 37: 122 ] Both of them were among our righteous servants.
  123   [ 37: 123 ] Elias was one of the messengers.
  124   [ 37: 124 ] He said to his people, " Would you not work righteousness?
  125   [ 37: 125 ] " Do you worship a statue, instead of the Supreme Creator?
  126   [ 37: 126 ] " GOD; your Lord, and the Lord of your forefathers! "
  127   [ 37: 127 ] They disbelieved him. Consequently, they had to be called to account.
  128   [ 37: 128 ] Only GOD's servants who are absolutely devoted to Him alone ( are saved ).
  129   [ 37: 129 ] We preserved his history for subsequent generations.
  130   [ 37: 130 ] Peace be upon Elias, and all those like Elias.
  131   [ 37: 131 ] We thus reward the righteous.
  132   [ 37: 132 ] He was one of our believing servants.
  133   [ 37: 133 ] Lot was one of the messengers.
  134   [ 37: 134 ] We saved him and all his family.
  135   [ 37: 135 ] Only the old woman was doomed.
  136   [ 37: 136 ] We annihilated all the others.
  137   [ 37: 137 ] You still pass by their ruins by day.
  138   [ 37: 138 ] And by night. Would you understand?
  139   [ 37: 139 ] Jonah was one of the messengers.
  140   [ 37: 140 ] He escaped to the loaded ship.
  141   [ 37: 141 ] He rebelled and thus, he joined the losers.
  142   [ 37: 142 ] Consequently, the fish swallowed him, and he was the one to blame.
  143   [ 37: 143 ] If it were not that he resorted to meditation ( on God ),
  144   [ 37: 144 ] he would have stayed in its belly until the Day of Resurrection.
  145   [ 37: 145 ] We had him thrown up into the desert, exhausted.
  146   [ 37: 146 ] We had a tree of edible fruit grown for him.
  147   [ 37: 147 ] Then we sent him to a hundred thousand, or more.
  148   [ 37: 148 ] They did believe, and we let them enjoy this life.
  149   [ 37: 149 ] Ask them if your Lord have daughters, while they have sons!
  150   [ 37: 150 ] Did we create the angels to be females? Did they witness that?
  151   [ 37: 151 ] Indeed, they grossly blaspheme when they say -
  152   [ 37: 152 ] " GOD has begotten a son. " Indeed, they are liars.
  153   [ 37: 153 ] Did He choose the girls over the boys?
  154   [ 37: 154 ] What is wrong with your logic?
  155   [ 37: 155 ] Why do you not take heed?
  156   [ 37: 156 ] Do you have any proof?
  157   [ 37: 157 ] Show us your book, if you are truthful.
  158   [ 37: 158 ] They even invented a special relationship between Him and the jinns. The jinns themselves know that they are subservient.
  159   [ 37: 159 ] GOD be glorified; far above their claims.
  160   [ 37: 160 ] Only GOD's servants who are devoted to Him alone ( are saved ).
  161   [ 37: 161 ] Indeed, you and what you worship.
  162   [ 37: 162 ] Cannot impose anything on Him.
  163   [ 37: 163 ] Only you will burn in Hell.
  164   [ 37: 164 ] Each one of us has a specific job.
  165   [ 37: 165 ] We are the arrangers.
  166   [ 37: 166 ] We have duly glorified ( our Lord ).
  167   [ 37: 167 ] They used to say,
  168   [ 37: 168 ] " Had we received the correct instructions from our parents,
  169   [ 37: 169 ] " we would have been worshipers; devoted to GOD alone. "
  170   [ 37: 170 ] But they disbelieved, and they will surely find out.
  171   [ 37: 171 ] Our decision is already decreed for our servants the messengers.
  172   [ 37: 172 ] They are surely the victors.
  173   [ 37: 173 ] Our soldiers are the winners.
  174   [ 37: 174 ] So disregard them for awhile.
  175   [ 37: 175 ] Watch them; they too will watch.
  176   [ 37: 176 ] Do they challenge our retribution?
  177   [ 37: 177 ] When it hits them one day, it will be a miserable day; they have been sufficiently warned.
  178   [ 37: 178 ] Disregard them for awhile.
  179   [ 37: 179 ] Watch them; they too will watch.
  180   [ 37: 180 ] Glory be to your Lord, the great Lord; far above their claims.
  181   [ 37: 181 ] Peace be upon the messengers.
  182   [ 37: 182 ] Praise be to GOD, Lord of the universe.
